Description

Thornsprings is situated less than 30 km from Middelburg in the Eastern Cape and offers quality accommodation for a family holiday. The farmhouse was built with beautifully cut, tawny sandstone in the style of Herbert Baker. Its thick walls and high ceilings render the rooms cool on scorching summer days and warm when cold nights set in.

It’s both simple and functional, with beautiful lounging, cooking and dining spaces. There are comfortable sofas and a well-stocked library, and the fireplaces are stacked with wood.

There are 2 bedrooms attached to the main house that both have a king-size bed and a single bed. Each room has an en-suite bathroom. These rooms are only accessed from the outside via private entrances from the patio. The other 4 bedrooms are in a separate building near the main house. The first and second bedrooms have a queen-size bed and an en-suite bathroom, each fitted with a shower. The third bedroom contains twin single beds, and its en-suite bathroom has a bath. Finally, the fourth bedroom has a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom with a bath and a romantic outside shower.

The kitchen is equipped for self-catering and includes a cooler, indoor braai, and a separate washing-up area.

The wrap-around patio has ample seating, an outdoor braai area, a pizza oven, and a view of the large swimming dam.

This wonderful and unique home is an ideal backdrop for soaking up the simplicity of life in one of the most iconic landscapes. Savour long, languid days and star-filled nights with family and friends. There is no better place to escape the grind of daily stresses. Stretch out and restore, drinking in the peace and sublime beauty of the Karoo.

Farm roads can be explored with a 4x4 vehicle and also offer the opportunity for hiking or mountain biking adventures.
A wide variety of birds attracts many connoisseurs, and the farm also has a large number of wildlife that can be seen.

Quiet and patient, its pastel time-washed koppies, valleys and parched riverbeds have endured for millennia. Early hunter-gatherers, pioneers, explorers, prospectors and travellers passed through, while the vast landscape presided regardless.
